Excuse Adeline Gray if she’s a little tired right now.
First, the 23-year-old wrestler fought through a very tough draw to win her second career title at the recent Senior World Wrestling Championship in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
Then she flew to Alaska the long way around — through Germany and San Francisco to Anchorage — instead of taking the much shorter route east. She spent more than 24 hours on a plane (not counting layovers). Now she’s spending some well-deserved R&R with her boyfriend, who’s in the military, before he’s deployed.
“I went the other way around, which is silly,” she said, laughing.
But in both Tashkent and her travels, Gray wound up right where she wanted to be — even if it took plenty of work to get there.
Gray won five consecutive matches in her 75-kilogram (165 pounds) freestyle class to claim the gold, which matches the one she won at the 2012 world championships. She also has bronze medals from the 2013 and 2011 world tournaments.
